Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0346063A2] This specification discloses a magneto-optical information recording and erasing method comprising the step of scanning tracks on a magneto-optical recording medium by a light beam emitted from an optical head while applying a bias magnetic field in a predetermined direction to the medium, and effecting one of the recording and erasing of information, the step of moving the optical head to a desired position across the tracks and at the same time, reversing the direction of application of the bias magnetic field, and the step of scanning the tracks on the medium from the desired position by the light beam emitted from the optical head while applying a bias magnetic field in the reversed direction to the medium, and effecting the other of the recording and erasing of the information. The specification also discloses a magneto-optical information recording apparatus for carrying out such method.
